I tend to agree more with Rick. Brand is a good guide but ultimately your ears have the last saying. I'm relatively new in hi-fi but over the years I have chopped and changed components on many occasions. And finally have found a combination that's pleasing to my taste. Just name a few items to...

I fully agree with Chrisflex. It would be an opener to some of us if at least we have an idea of which components match best with which from gurus like BJ.

Cool Kyle I've send you a pm

I now realize it's not only about power and more power but synergy between components. By the way Len I know you so passionate about Rotel gear. And I agree they don't disappoint.I'll be coming to the Bay soon after the soccer world cup. For now I'm keeping warm & music as well as more & more tv

There's this retired Telkom technician that runs a hi-fi shop & car fitment centre locally. He's my friend and is very skilful and knowledgeable with electronics. He has a modest system made up of an old Rotel RB 930 integrated stereo amp driving Boston Acoustics HD7 bookshelf speakers. All his...

Hi Kyle. That Rotel RC 1070 is a stunner. I just love it. I regret having offloading mine. How I wish...

Oh my I would support such a venture 100% in it's entirety. I'll keep hope that it'll happen one day. As for a museum for vintage stuff I still believe members with large collection can kick start it albeit on a small scale or even partner with local municipality museums to exhibit their...

Input appreciated and will be utilised fully to improve my setup

This is interesting indeed. I'm so curious to learn what dealers have as their personal hi-fi set-up. Guys like Brett Stormy Norman should be having the best there is I guess

Can hi-fi items especially amplifiers be compared to cars? Where it's always good to buy it new drive it for 3-4 years and trade it in for a new one. Does this apply to hi-fi? In terms of value how fast do hi-fi components depreciate in value.  Which brand can be easily regarded as 'investments'...

I think my beloved Infinity ref bookshelfs have blown mid/bass drivers under similar circumstances. There's so much to learn for people like me with zero technical know how skill wrt hi-fi. But being a fast learner I'm slowly going there

I have heard very good sounding CDs used dealers as demo discs. These were clearly labelled not for sale. I think this is unfair as the music contained therein was out of this world. That I would spend the last penny I have to lay my hands on it. It would be a good idea if guys knowledgeable...

Pity that's a awesome sounding piece of equipment. Glad kid survived unharmed through the 'accident'

I wonder if this is still happening and where and when. Back in time it was so good to go and witness how distributors and dealers showcase their products. Yes I aggree with advancement of technology one has all info at touch of a button. But isn't it great to see touch and listen to experts...

I've got a Niles SI 275 power amplifier used as part of stereo set up. I've enjoyed it for so long but I now hear humming sound coming from it. Is it normal that amps start doing this as a sign of age or it merely needs to be serviced. If so where can I get help.

I'm tired of watching same thing repeated over. And over as is the case on DSTV. Moreover their subscriptions are not reasonable. I mostly watch sport documentaries news and listen to music. I also love animated movies. So I would like to know what are the basics that I should buy and...

Any advice as to manage cables on my system. They are many and don't look neat that way. This topic might have discussed before but really need recommendations on any products on the market that can help me resolve this problem

I have few tuners viz. Rotel RT 1080; Nad 402 Onkyo T-SHIRT 4830 and a Teac analogue  tuner.I listen a lot to radio although I stay at a place with poor reception. I do however a decent outdoor FM aerial. I'd like to know if there's any easy and reasonable way to compare different tuners. I'm...

Thanks for valuable input. I'll try my level best to improve

Hi all. I've been on this forum for so many years. But my post count stands only at 13. Some newer inactive members have already surpassed the elusive 50 count. I will appreciate it much if I can be educated how best can I improve as a matter of urgency
